Characters:
** Elie Wiesel is the author of the book and the story is told from his point of view. He is a Jewish Hungarian who was taken to Birkenau in 1944 at the age of fifteen. Wiesel shares his horrifying experience and gives detailed descriptions of life in concentration camps. To the Nazis Wiesel was a good worker since he was young and strong. Through this horrible experience Wiesel grows up.
**Chlomo Wiesel was Elie’s father. He was a valued member in their Jewish community and many people came to him for advice. He remained strong throughout the entire ordeal even though he was getting old and the small rations were insufficient. He eventually died, although it’s unknown whether he died in his sleep or if he was taken to the crematory still alive.
**Juliek is a Polish violinist who is also a prisoner in the concentration camp with Elie and his father. Juliek loves music and dreams of being able to play Beethoven, but Jews aren’t allowed to play German music. When forced to leave Buna since the lines are drawing near, he takes his violin with him and plays for the dying men outside Gleiwitz. When Elie awoke Juliek had passed away, his violin beside him.
**Moshe the Beadle was a poor, religious man who lived amongst the Jews of Sighet. Before he was deported he sang and chanted. He was also Elie’s master of the cabbala. When he came back from the orest of Galacia his whole demeanor had changed. He told stories of how the Gestapo had killed all of the deportees by mercilessly shooting each of them and leaving them for dead. No one believed him and thought he had lost his mind even though he tried many times without avail to get them to listen.
